Those seats in good shape are very rare, you can't get that material anymore. They might be worth some $$$$$ to someone attempting a restoration.

Tell us more. What brand and/or where did you buy them?
Were you able to use the original tracks or did the seats come with tracks that are adaptable to a C3?

Im trying to get some more info on the seats but cant find anything,they are called Autoclassic retro sports seats..
Bought them on a webshop from Sweden http://www.stylingbutiken.se/autocla...t-lader/2827-0
I Have looked a long time for some seats that are narrow enough for the c3 and these ones fits great.
They are not for someone with a big a** though
I used the new tracks and made some new pieces to raise the seats in front to get the right feel..
Also needed to cut one metal tube of the seat to get it closer to the floor in the back..
